Programmer Orin Day tells us about the 6-player feature of Sega games:

The first 6-player Sega game was Mary Shelley's Frankenstein using the 192x64 DMD. Baywatch and Batman Forever also had this feature. When we switched back to the 128x32 display for Apollo 13 and subsequent games we also switched to the Whitestar hardware system. It's my recollection that at that time we coded both the game and display to take six players. It was removed from the system at the time of Sharkey's Shootout, no games after that had it (with the exception of NFL, which was a derivative of Striker, and any games from earlier in the catalog like South Park which were remanufactured).

Marketing Slogans: "Sega Pinball creates a monster hit!"
"Collections so good, they'll bury the competition."
